Borghese Gallery

Explore a private collection of antiquities, paintings, and sculptures spread across two stories and 22 rooms

Architect Flaminio Ponzio designed Villa Borghese for the cardinal and art collector Scipione Borghese, who wanted a party villa on the edge of town where he could house his enormous collection of priceless art. In 1901, the collection (and the gallery, and the park that surrounds it) was acquired by the Italian government, and opened to the public.
As a museum, Galleria Borghese punches well above its weight with an impressive hit rate of masterpieces. Sculptures by Bernini and Canova, paintings, by Caravaggio, Raphael and Titian... the list goes on.
The Borghese Gallery offers a unique museum visit with its strict capacity limit. You have only a 2-hour slot to explore, making each moment count. Borghese Galleria tickets are in high demand and sell out months ahead. It's crucial to pre-book your entry to ensure you don't miss out. Plan early and secure your spot to appreciate this exclusive opportunity.
